Tips & Tricks

Care

Silk Wool is a sturdy, medium weight fabric with velvety, slightly sparkly sheen. It can be used for bridal/wedding, lingerie, high-end sportswear, and home decor. Silk Wool makes a great body fabric for bustiers especially - it is incredibly durable and can withstand a heavy amount of seaming as well as support metal or plastic boning. It is a very crisp fabric that holds its shape when draped - this is a great fabric for tailored garments.

Smooth and silky handfeel

Some degree of shine

Wool is a great fabric to work with because the cut edges are clean and it holds its shape (very little stretching, and practically no stretching at all with medium to heavyweight wool).

Always use good quality thread (if possible, try silk thread)

Choose seam finishes, such as pinking, that will not add additional bulk to your seams.

Take care when pressing wool — a too hot iron can cause damage.

Use a wool press cloth, especially when pressing the right side of the fabric (make sure to use a white press cloth for light colored wool).

Hand wash or machine wash As with hand washing, gather items of the same material together for a wash instead of mixing different fibres.
Only fill the machine halfway – this will help prevent fibres becoming tangled. If your machine has a half load option, it’s best to use it here, as it will reduce the amount of water used, conserving water and saving money. Use a cool or lukewarm temperature setting, and a slow spin cycle. High temperatures can shrink some materials, while vigorous spinning can damage materials.Use a cold rinse. Air dry and away from direct sunlight to prevent bleaching.
